The Tritone Paradox: An Influence of Language on Music Perception
The tritone paradox is produced when two tones that are related by a half-octave (or tritone) are presented in succession. Each tone is composed of a set of octave-related harmonics, whose amplitudes are determined by a bell-shaped spectral envelope; thus the tones are clearly defined in terms of pitch class, but poorly defined in terms of height. When listeners judge whether such tone pairs fo...
متن کاملThe Tritone Paradox among Chinese Children Aged
The tritone paradox is produced by a basic pattern that consists of an ordered pair of Shepard tones that are related by a half-octave (i.e., a tritone). When listeners judge whether such tone pairs ascend or descend in pitch, their judgments show systematic relationships to the positions of the tones along the pitch-class circle: Tones in one region of the circle are heard as higher and tones ...
متن کاملThe Tritone Paradox : Correlate with the Listener ' s Vocal Range for Speech
In the tritone paradox, two tones are presented that are related by a half-octave. Each tone consists of a set of octave-related sinusoids whose amplitudes are scaled by a bell-shaped spectral envelope; thus the usual cues to height attribution are missing. When listeners judge whether such tone pairs form ascending or descending patterns, judgments are related in an orderly fashion to the posi...
متن کاملThe tritone paradox: effects of spectral variables.
A paradoxical two-tone pattern is explored, which is heard as ascending when played in one key but as descending when played in a different key. The pattern thus provides a striking counterexample to the principle of invariance under transposition. In addition, the pattern in any one key is heard as ascending by some listeners but as descending by others. This study examines the effects of spec...
متن کاملPutting the tritone paradox into context: insights from neural population decoding and human psychophysics.
The context in which a stimulus occurs can influence its perception. We study contextual effects in audition using the tritone paradox, where a pair of complex (Shepard) tones separated by half an octave can be perceived as ascending or descending. While ambiguous in isolation, they are heard with a clear upward or downward change in pitch, when preceded by spectrally matched biasing sequences....
